Login to ask a questionA bright yellow original Eames fiberglass side shell chair for Herman Miller on a used, newer light golden oak DSW dowel base make a desirable combination. The striking yellow shell has a wonderful deep colour with fantastic clearly seen visible fibers which are enhanced by the rich colour of the dowel base.
The Eames shell series chairs really do not need any introduction. With early prototypes beginning in the late 1940's, production began on the Eames' dream of 'chairs for the masses' in 1950 with the arm and then the sides later in 1952/53. The original and vintage fiberglass chairs were so versatile and so modern that they only increase in popularity as the years go by.
Fiberglass originals always have a base colour and gorgeous 'visible' fibers in the shell itself. Upholstered version were introduced by Herman Miller a little later on using fabrics and textiles designed by the esteemed designer Alexander Girard.
Individual Characteristics
A used vintage version of the shell chair, the condition is very good for their age. The colour is slightly darker than is displayed in the images, but it has a very wonderful consistency to it. There is a small area of aged patina at the back of the seat section; further images are available upon request. It does not detract from the usability of the shell, it is just a noticeable darker area.
The ‘C’ with the star logo dictates the shell was made at Herman Miller’s Cincinnati Milicron factory.
